The Department maintains relations with the companies involved in the introduction of modern information technologies. All laboratory work is equipped with electronic manual guides. The staff of the Department performs state budget scientific research work "Methods and Information Technologies of digital processing of multichannel data" (registration number 0116U001297). Active participation of professors in research activities significantly increases not only their professional skills, but also provides a high-quality training of students. The use of scientific achievements in training specialists is essential for the formation of national staff that is able to develop, implement and operate a new high-tech technology in strategically important technical area of our country. Students from second to fifth year courses are actively involved in scientific researches of the Department. Results of their works are published in proceedings of scientific conferences, has published articles. Students are active participants and winners of numerous national competition of student’s scientific researches and Olympiads on programming.

Separately saying about the employment of graduates of the Department. The analysis in recent years suggests that the majority of graduates is employed exactly according to their qualifications and has held various positions in the IT sector: software development, 3D-design, management ICs and so on.
